Thank you so much gentlemen

Hey officialhegatry. These are the exact same pictures I sent to you, no idea why the quality is different. Haha! I have already told you, it's just so hard to stop collecting. It's always "just a couple more" or "just those ones to finish off that team/group"

Law, trust me, I didn't plan this, it just happened

Well, Iron Man is my joint favourite character, along with Deadpool. And I love collecting all the different armours out there. I think they look amazing. Aside from that, the only multiples I have are army builders/Ultron or doom bots/power up-power down variants and alternate reality-universe versions.

Yep, most of mine are in display cases, with custom half shelves added, and steps on most shelves made from custom cut glass and hand cut round Perspex tubes. It cost a fortune and took forever. But I think it looks great.

Yeah, I agree with what's been said here, hopefully the line will pick up again after ANOTHER rebranding. Would love to see some more film/Tv show releases. But as you can tell, I'm happy with pretty much anything marvel related in this scale! Haha.

Oh, and that's a beautiful MOC collection rafael. That's what I love about this hobby, we are all collecting the same figures, but in many different ways

ukmu · 01-31-2016, 10:56 AM

Is there a variant to the old man Logan Raf?

Just got two DETOPF shelves on gumtree Friday. Seeing yours Oscar is inspiring. (I like yours too Pilk, just having looked since got the lad a couple) Where did you find those anchor bolts at here in UK?

Also could you walk me through the step pieces you got? I read it like a year ago but don't remember. Also going to light them but there are SO many different ways it is confusing after looking at a few ideas. I get lost and unsure what it is we want!

That Darkhawk reminds me I have one I need to find. Got my Hammeroids in position and depackaged the last of my figures waiting deployment.

CCC.

Agent X recipe;
Nick fury/winter soldier body
Gi joe renegades ripcord Head and goggles
Couple of random guns from the fodder box
Lots of paint/time/effort

Doc ock head custom is Jack Dio (underworld)

"the crazy looking bastard in the silver proff x chair" is none other than Montgomery Burns (one of Deadpools unfortunate pals, of LL&L)

What's the recipe for Monty?

Was at Meijer today and found a lone Avengers Black Widow. She scanned for $4 so I got her for customs. They also had Ant Man legends on clearance for $9. So I grabbed a Wasp to replace my 4 inch wasp. Janet is now Giant Woman.

Zend · 01-31-2016, 04:19 PM

This guy has one more AIM soldier for $13 shipped, I bought the other two he had:

Or just Wasp still since growing giant has been in her power-set for a while now and she has never been called anything but Wasp.

I got a $5.98 Wasp at Target. Felt really good about that. But for some reason they just won't clearance their Hyperions, Guardians, or Ionic Wonder Men.

I was just kidding though she did go by Giant Girl in the Adventures continuity from a few years back.

She's also been called the Winsome Wasp, Jan, Janet Pym and Janet van Dyne. Not that I really care but one of you en sabahs really seems to get off on correcting people lol.

Zend · 01-31-2016, 09:14 PM

This is maybe 90% of my MU.

What a great collection... I get a kick out of seeing how you group them. Where did you stick that awesome werewolf by night?

Ha ha... My favorite was when you guys got in that dissertation style debate over nebula being (or not being) in a zombie like state. I think the question was what would Jason do with an infinity gauntlet... My guess was create a giant machete and stab earth. Speaking of which it would have been cool if the latest black panther had an infinity gauntlet.

Werewolf is behind Ghost Rider.

Oscarv · 02-01-2016, 03:41 AM

Nice pictures and collection Lordmud

Ukmu, the steps are custom cut glass (from local glass cutters) and Perspex tubes, I had to hand cut them all from bigger lengths, was time consuming tricky nightmare!!!

Oscarv · 02-01-2016, 06:15 AM

Oh dear me! No no no! Just plain no!

Lol...I'm not going to get the new stuff that's coming out, but, I won't get rid of the old MU stuff that's for sure!

ukmu · 02-01-2016, 07:14 AM

Your MU collection is museum worthy.

I hadn't seen the 2.5" set yet but it isn't a surprise.

Loving Lord Mudds style.
